Why doesn't Twitter just open up their API and patent and then the Twitter API becomes the standard? We all change less code that way. :-) I like all these open standards, but it would be so much easier if we could just use the existing APIs as standards that we've already integrated into all

Raffi, it is not clear the legalities of duplicating the Twitter API in other environments. For instance, if I wanted to run users/show_user on Wordpress.com's API and get data in exactly the same format as Twitter returns data for that, along with any other method Twitter provides, is that

Andrew, it's not so much about making a simpler API, but making it standard : having the same API to get content from 6A blogs, Tumblr's blogs, media sites, social networks... is much easier than implementing one for each service out there. After a small day of poll, here are some results : Do

But how much simpler does it need to be? The streaming API is dead simple. I implemented what seems to be a full client with delete, limit and backoff in parts of two working days. Honestly I think it took me longer to write a working PubSubHubbub subscriber client than it did a Twitter Streaming
